The fovea or fovea centralis that is a pit in the central region of the macula of the retina with a high concentration of cone photoreceptors (red, blue and green) that allows for 100% visual acuity including color vision comprises less than 1% of retinal size but takes up over 50% of the primary visual cortex in the brain.
